About Patricia
Patricia Robbins is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has worked in the therapeutic field for 18 years and helps people with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, ADHD and related concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma, relationship and family issues, grief, self-esteem and sleep or eating difficulties.
Her style is practical and pluralistic. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based and client-centred approaches, and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Sessions focus on clear steps - noticing thoughts and reactions, testing alternatives, and building everyday habits that reduce distress.
Patricia works with people who want structured help for specific problems as well as those who need calmer coping tools for day-to-day life. She uses talk-based methods to identify patterns and then introduces exercises and small experiments to try between sessions. The emphasis is on what someone can do differently, not on labels.
She accepts clients from the United Kingdom and from other countries; sessions are held in English. Fees vary by location and are collected through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. Before booking, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment.
Patricia aims to make therapy straightforward and usable. She helps people decide practical next steps, whether that is managing anxiety, addressing addictive behaviours, or working through trauma-related concerns.
How her approaches translate to online work
Patricia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding, which can be practised in weekly tasks and short exercises. ACT focuses on values and small actions that build meaningful routines while reducing avoidance and worry.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions. That helps when someone wants to change how they relate, manage trust or handle intimacy-related difficulties. Deciding which approaches to use is part of the first few sessions; the therapist works with each person to choose methods that suit their needs and goals.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. Some methods translate well to remote meetings because they use exercises, worksheets and short behavioural experiments that can be practised between sessions and discussed remotely.
